Brief Description

The structured PhD programme is the advancement of knowledge through a high-quality experience of original research which is integrated with professional development. It develops students’ research knowledge and transferable skills through a formalised and integrated programme of activities. This programme develops advanced research skills for postgraduate research students in Science and Engineering Faculty.

• The PhD consists of two stages: the structured (taught modules) and the research element.
• The structured PhD provides a taught in a core programme that develops transferable research skills.
• The structured element also provides specialist disciplinary teaching to bring understanding to international research levels.
• The research element develops skills for graduates to be active and autonomous researchers.
• The Structured PhD contains the Taught component (minimum 30 credits) and Research Element (240-330 credits)
• Taught component consists of general transferable research skills (18 credits: 6 modules at 3 credits each), and subject-specific modules (minimum 12 credits). The research element comprises the remaining 240-330 credits
• Applicants will normally be expected to hold an Honours degree (minimum 2.1) or equivalent in a discipline appropriate to their area of proposed research.
• Entry points may differ for applicants with postgraduate qualifications. Please contact the Course Director for further information.

Fees for all postgraduate programmes are revised on an annual basis.  Detailed information on fee schedules and fee regulations is available on the Fees Office website.

There are a few colleges in the world, including Trinity, that provide the Master’s course in Mechanical Engineering in its broadest sense (as most other universities specialise on a subject within the field of Mechanical Engineering, which will narrow down my scope and future). And Trinity, with its excellent research potential and amazing faculties, is the obvious choice for any aspiring mechanical engineer. The research module of my course is where I spent my most time on. I like experimenting and devising new solutions to everyday problems that will make the world a better place. And I have been blessed with an amazing project supervisor and other lab experimental officers that makes the whole process a lot more fun than it usually is. Fazeel Mohammed Naduvilakath Mohammed Graduate

I chose the Mechanical Engineering programme at Trinity because I noticed the wide selection of modules suited my interests. One of the things I enjoyed most about the course was the ability to combine modules from different modules so effortlessly. I was able to take modules from civil engineering and combine them with mechanical engineering modules. In doing so, I was also exposed to students from different disciplines, which is always a pleasant experience. The three words I would use to describe Trinity are: Diverse, Impressive, Iconic. Diverse, because the student body, and in particular the Master's programme class, brought together students from all over the globe in a very unique fashion. Impressive, due to Trinity's incredible academic staff, who are all well-versed in their respective disciplines and always ensure that the students are on track to achieve success. Lastly, iconic simply because of its unique history and longevity, and also because of the standing it holds today within the international community. Hesham Shaarawy Graduate

MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Introduction

This Masters programme allows the students to specialise in the widely established area of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering or to widen their knowledge from their undergraduate studies. It enables graduates to apply MEng Level 9 learning outcomes using computer–based technology to solve mechanical and manufacturing engineering problems. This programme introduces the use of advanced Computer Aided Engineering tools and, by experiencing these advanced techniques and software, the graduate will gain a vital edge. It allows the candidate to keep up with the rapidly changing manufacturing and design sectors. In addition, students can opt for a specialist Major in one of four areas: Simulation-driven Design, Advanced Manufacturing, Sustainable Systems and Energy, or Biomedical Engineering.

Depending on the student’s entry qualification, a number of entry routes to the MEng programme are possible: Direct entry, through an Access Course, through Qualifier Programmes, through the International Foundation Programme.

Major 1 - Simulation-driven Design

Simulation-driven design implements advanced computer aided engineering software and techniques form the very beginning of the product development cycle. The simulation technology can drastically lower the time that product development takes. Instead of simply analysing and testing existing products and systems, simulation can pre-validate designs at an early stage. This is a required trend in Industry 4.0-enabled manufacturing and design.

Major 2 - Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing deals with the developments in the manufacturing field during the last decades. It includes high tech, innovative processes, clean and green processes, and flexible manufacturing. Advanced manufacturing makes extensive use of specialised computer software and information technologies. Advanced manufacturing industries integrate new innovative technologies in both products and processes. This major prepares students to design, operate, and manage advanced manufacturing processes and systems.

Major 3 - Sustainable Systems and Energy

Sustainable systems and energy engineering prepares graduates with the knowledge and competence to meet the changing world of sustainability and the growing global challenge of transitioning to zero carbon, environmentally sound, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy systems.

There is a growing international market for Engineers in sustainable energy and development, eco–innovation, resource efficiency and clean–tech sectors. There are lots of career opportunities in the growing fields of Energy/Renewable Energy (wind, wave, solar, biomass etc.); a national priority area for Ireland.

Major 4 - Biomedical Engineering

This discipline integrates the necessary aspects of biology and medicine with the technical engineering aspects required to engineer medical devices. The world of medicine is evolving and expanding rapidly, with new treatments and new diseases appearing all the time. As Ireland is a major player in bioengineering, this Major provides graduates with specialisms required by industry.

There are three exit routes: MEng, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate.

The MEng Programme is offered in full- and part-time, on-campus and guided-study modes. 

This programme is designed to enhance your knowledge, understanding and skills in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.

Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by the DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.

NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs:

If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.

If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
